luniors read Huck Finn in English III As members of English lll, all juniors were required to read the novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain. For three weeks, students could be found reading the pages assigned for that day. Most teachers gave short quizzes occa- sionally as an added incentive to students to keep up on the reading. At the end of the course, a composition was due from each student and a major test was given. ln an effort to break the routine of regular study, Mrs. Flo Schelling, English Department chairman, assigned an extra credit-required project to her advanced classes. The activities did not count much in the grade and the choice as to the type of activity was left open for the students to enable them to do their project according to individual talents. Numerous posters and original poems depicting incidents in the novel were dis- played. Three-dimensional figures and oil paintings were also included. A favorite for the students was a cake which the stu- dents took time out to eat, decorated to look like the Mississippi River. To add a little excitement to the projects, several stu- dents put on skits portraying the more humorous parts of the story. A. Teresa Williamson, junior, displays an original poem embroidered on burlap to Mrs. Flo Schelling's second period class. B. Junior Debbie Morgan, depicting a woman in the novel, advises Huck, played by jun- ior Cathy Taylor, in the art of being a girl. C. Portraying Huckleberry Finn and Nigger Jim, juniors Jeff Renfro and Billy Dodson act out a scene from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
